We’ll keep you up to date with all the latest Reds news, rumours and transfer gossip. Plus, there will be plenty of big match build-up as we start the countdown to Saturday’s Championship clash with Cardiff City.

The Reds will be out to build on last weekend’s victory over Ipswich Town when they take on the promotion-chasing Bluebirds in front of the Sky TV cameras.

Can they make it two in a row after ending their winless – and goalless – streak at the City Ground? Will we see any changes to the starting line-up?

We’ll get the thoughts of Forest boss Aitor Karanka ahead of his team’s trip to Wales, as he holds his pre-match press conference – along with, hopefully, one of his players.

So what will today bring?

Stick with us throughout the day as we bring you the latest developments from the City Ground.

No holiday for Forest boss...

Aitor Karanka says he’s the one at the City Ground who won’t be sunning himself, due to the amount of work that needs to be done to turn Forest into a force next season.

New Fleetwood head coach Joey Barton has learned from past mistakes and can prove a “huge success” as he takes his first steps into management, according to chairman Andy Pilley.

The 35-year-old has signed a three-year contract from June 2, when his suspension for breaking Football Association betting rules expires.

The appointment of the controversial one-cap England midfielder has been greeted with a mixed response, but chairman Pilley is confident Barton is the right man at the right time for Fleetwood.

“I have appointed managers with no previous experience in the past and they have always been successful,” Pilley said on Sky Sports News. “I had Graham Alexander and Micky Mellon, who both won promotions.

“There is a risk in any appointment, but, knowing Joe as I do, I am supremely confident he will be a huge success.”
